In this paper, the Wii remote (Wiimote) controller and a conventional video camera are used to perform real-time position tracking of an aerial vehicle. The combination of the Wiimote's infrared and video camera fields of view creates a virtual cube in which motion can be fully monitored. This controlled space allows a vehicle to navigate with no onboard sensors. The proposed approach is advantageous...
Road information is useful in many fields. In this paper, a real-time mapping system is presented to acquire the image and determine the geometry of the road. These include designs of platform and instruments, data transmission, processing and archiving. Compare with the traditional platforms, the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) platforms offer greater flexibility, shorter response time and is able...
11,000 m class ROV, KAIKO, was developed in 1995 and dived to the seabed of 11,000 m depth at Challenger Deep in Mariana Trench about 20 times (Fig.1). In March, 1996, KAIKO was sampling almost 20 ml of sediment at Challenger Deep (10,897 m depth). Many microbe in deep sea like extreme environments have been found in it, and their life have been cleared by the little sediment sample. So, it is necessary...
This article presents the implementation of decentralized data fusion (DDF) and cooperative control algorithms on an unmanned aerial system (UAS). We conduct a number of demonstrations with a pair of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) performing an information-gathering mission, and we show that significant benefits can be achieved by enabling cooperation through the sharing of information between members...
